šæ Exploring the Hill Through the Lens of Minecraft
Today I want to share something thatās been unfolding in some beautiful and unexpected waysāespecially through my sessions with nonspeaking kids. Over time, Iāve noticed some really sweet connections between how children experience āthe Hillā and how they engage with a game many of them love: Minecraft.
This post pulls together a few of those insights. Think of it as a Spirit-to-Spirit sessionā¦ through the world of pixels and imagination.
š± Introduction: The Hill and Minecraft Connection
If you’re familiar with Minecraft, youāll know it’s a game where players can build, explore, and create entire worlds. And interestingly, that’s very similar to what I see happening energetically on the Hill.
The Hill is a spiritual spaceāa place where I often meet kids in sessions. But itās also flexible, imaginative, and deeply personal.
š§± Constructed Worlds: The Hill and Minecraft
One thing that really stands out is this: the Hill is a constructed space, just like a Minecraft world. It exists in what you might call a higher dimension, a place where spirits gather to learn, grow, and connect.
In Minecraft, you build your world. In the Hill, the āworldā is built tooābut itās built with intention, spirit, and love. Itās not rigid. It shifts to meet the needs of those who visit.
š Unique Perspectives: Seeing the Hill Differently
Just like no two Minecraft players experience the exact same thing, no two children see the Hill the same way.
Some see a beautiful green field. Others describe a school, a libraryāeven a skyscraper. Thatās part of what makes the Hill so specialāit adjusts to the perception of the child visiting. Thereās no ārightā way to see it. Itās interpretive, responsive, and unique to each spirit.
In one session, my own view of the Hill shifted dramaticallyāit reminded me that the Hill is always teaching us, not just through whatās there, but through how we see it.
š Shared Realities: The Hill as a Server
This part made me smile: my son and his friend used to play Minecraft together across different states. They were in totally separate locations, but theyād meet up in the same virtual space and create together.
Thatās exactly how the Hill works.
The Hill is like a shared spiritual āserver.ā Itās a place multiple children (and sometimes adults!) can access at the same time. It transcends physical space, but still allows for shared experience. How amazing is that?
šØ Creativity and Purpose in Spiritual Spaces
Minecraft encourages creativityāyou can build a treehouse, a city, a castle in the clouds. But thereās usually purpose behind the creation.
Thatās true for the Hill, too.
Itās not just a place to hang out (though thatās beautiful in itself). Itās a place where spiritual purpose flows. Kids might go there to rest, to learn, to connect with others, or to receive comfort. What they build or experience on the Hill often reflects something theyāre working through in their real lives.
š Accessing the Hill: Intent and Awareness
Accessing the Hill isnāt automaticāit comes through intent. I often describe it as tuning into the right frequency. Itās kind of like logging into a Minecraft serverāyou have to know it exists, choose to go there, and then settle in.
Some children naturally know how to access it. Others learn through experience, sometimes after connecting in Spirit-to-Spirit sessions.
One thing is clear: the Hill adapts to each child. It offers just what their soul needs in that momentācomfort, clarity, friendship, or peace.
š Conclusion: The Hill as a Multidimensional World
So yes, in many ways, the Hill is a lot like Minecraft. Itās a co-created, multidimensional space built from love and intention.
When my family moved, Minecraft helped my son stay connected to his friends. It was more than a gameāit was a bridge. And the Hill, in its own sacred way, is a bridge too. A place where children (and sometimes parents!) can connect with their inner world, and even with each other, in beautiful and healing ways.
Whether or not this metaphor lands for you, I hope it opens your heart to the ways kids are already connecting to spiritual truthsāsometimes through the very tools weād least expect.
